JPS6277741A - Telephone set with automatic calling outgoing function - Google Patents

Abstract

PURPOSE:To make it possible to call the opposite destination subscriber automatically again and to display an opposite destination number at the connection, by storing an opposite destination number automatically at the call operation and setting the automatic call command mode after the call. CONSTITUTION:When the opposite destination is dialed (1), a pulse is sent from a generating means 2 to an exchange 4 and fed to a memory 6 via a counter 3 and a signal conversion means 5. When the opposite destination does not reply, the operator operates an automatic dial command means 7 and an automatic dial outgoing means 8 is brought to the drive enable state and drives a timer 9. When timeover is detected (10), the outgoing means 8 applies again automatic dial based on a number in the memory 6. When the stop of a dial tone is detected (11) at the automatic redialing, a displaying alarm 12 is operated and a dial display means 13 displays the destination telephone number. The operator starts talking based on the display.

Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] Technical Field> The present invention provides a method for dialing a subscriber's telephone number (dial number) of the dialed party when calling the other party by dialing.
The present invention relates to a telephone with an automatic calling function that automatically temporarily stores the number of calls to the other party, and automatically dials the other party at predetermined time intervals thereafter when communication with the other party is not possible.

<Prior art> Previously proposed telephones with an automatic call/dispatch function can be automatically called by simply registering frequently used subscriber phone numbers and performing simple operations such as pressing the subscriber button or speed dialing. This makes it convenient to use when it is necessary to make frequent calls to a specific subscriber.

However, even with such a telephone equipped with an automatic dialing function, when you make a call to the other party, for example, if the other party is busy on the phone or the intended party is temporarily absent, After disconnecting the service, it was necessary to operate the subscriber button or speed dial again later to call the other party.

In other words, if you make a call and the person on the other end is busy or absent, you will need to dial again, and if you are busy with work, you may forget to redial. Occasionally, inconveniences occurred, such as forgetting to call the phone, which disrupted business operations.

<Purpose of the Invention> The present invention was developed in view of the above-mentioned circumstances. When a subscriber at the other end is called, if the other party is busy on the phone or absent, To provide a telephone set with an automatic calling function that automatically calls a subscriber at the other party when a predetermined period of time has elapsed when a user wants to make a call to the same subscriber.

That is, a storage means for introducing and storing the dial number of the other party when a calling operation of the other party is performed;
It includes a timer means for counting a predetermined time, and by setting the mode to an automatic call instruction state when a call is made to the same destination again, the timer means is stored in the storage means every time a predetermined time elapses. This system automatically calls the subscriber based on the dialed number. At this time, the dial number of the subscriber on the other end is displayed, so that the subscriber can be confirmed by this display.

<Embodiment> FIG. 1 is a diagram showing the block configuration of a telephone in which the present invention is implemented, and dialing means 1 for inputting the telephone number of the other party is connected to counter means 3 and the line via pulse generating means 2. It is connected to the exchange 4 via. This counter means 3 is also connected to signal modification means 5, which convert the signal of the counter means 3 into a digital signal. This signal conversion means 5 is connected to memory means 6. Furthermore, dial display means I8 is connected to the memory means 6. This display means 13 receives and displays the telephone number information of the other party from the memory means 6 when the dial tone stop detection means 11, which will be described later, detects a line connection with the other party.

An instructing means (A) 7 such as a switch for instructing the automatic dialing mode according to the present invention is connected to an automatic dialing means 8 and a timer means 9, and the timer means 9 is connected to the automatic dialing means 9 via the time-over detecting means IO. It is connected to the transmitting means 8. Also connected to the exchange 4 is a tone detection means 15, which is connected to a display alarm means 12 and a restart terminal of the timer means 9.

FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the operation flow of the telephone according to the present invention, and the operation will be specifically explained below in conjunction with FIG. 1.

First, the operator is the dialer! When the desired destination is dialed by turning the dial, this dial signal is sent to the exchange 4 via the pulse signal generating means 2, and the dialed number is stored in the memory means 6 via the counter means 3 and the signal converting means 5. 0 At this time, if the other party does not pick up the receiver, the operator operates the automatic dialing instruction means 7 to enable the automatic dialing means 8 and also activates the timer means 9 to start time counting. 0 When the time-over detection means 10 detects that this time count has reached a predetermined time, the automatic dialing means 8 automatically dials again based on the dial number stored in the memory means 6. If this is not done, the automatic dialing circuit repeats the same operation as described above.

Further, the setting value of the time-over detection means 10 is arbitrarily set in advance, for example, 5 minutes, 10 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.

On the other hand, if the dial tone stop detection means II detects that the dial tone has stopped during re-automatic dialing by the automatic dial transmitting means 8, the display alarm means 12 notifies the operator that the other party has picked up the telephone receiver. Dial display means ■
Press 3 to display the other party's phone number. The operator confirms this state and the displayed telephone number, picks up the receiver, and starts a call.

When the call is completed, the operator hangs up the receiver, turns off the line, turns off the automatic dial instruction means 7, and clears the contents of the memory means 6.

<Effects> As described above, the telephone with the automatic calling/distributing function of the present invention automatically stores the telephone number of the other party when calling the other party, and the telephone number of the other party is automatically stored. If you are unable to talk to the other party, you can set it to automatic call instruction mode, and after that, the system will automatically call the other party at predetermined intervals until the other party is connected, and when the other party is connected, this status will be notified to the outside world. Since the phone number of the other party is also displayed at the same time, if the call is not made with the other party at the first call operation, the call will be made automatically after that, eliminating the need for redial operation, which is convenient and makes it easier to make calls. It has the advantage of being easy to forget to call. Furthermore, when the line is connected to the other party by automatic calling, the telephone number of the other party can be displayed to confirm the other party, which is very convenient when making a call.
